Exeter still tries to be interesting today
buswise, but for me as is the case elsewhere
it's a bit of a losing battle. I hated the
shoddy looking 1970-80s NBC/PTE Era which is
why I was happy to snap away in a nostalgic
monochrome sometimes taking more creative
images perhaps. This quick call one Saturday
on the way home in 1980 was a good one with
plenty of interesting older half-cab Exeter
Leylands and Devon General AEC's to
photograph, but these little quirky Marshall
bodied Bristol LH's reinforced the idea that
I was visiting somewhere a bit different in
character. Nick-named by crews 'Vodkas'
these little buses were ideal for Devon's
narrow roads.
